Behe is about the standard theory of evolution not facing the real
challenges of biochemistry. From biochemistry he points to some very
complex tiny mechanisms and processes which are very, very complex. He
argues that these are "irruducibly complex", that is, they cannot
function with less parts and that the parts are very complex.
Therefore, there is no credible gradualism by means of random mutation
way to explain their existence.
There is a proposal that this high level of almost instanteous
information had to come from a source other then time-intensive
randomness. Therefore it is proposed that we consider a source and call
it a "desinger."
Behe is not about "young earth" creationism or about common descent but
about mechanisms.
Remember that science must have the property according to some of being
falsifieble and he is arguing that the standard theory of evolutionism
is false.
